About this date
The countdown targets 6 June 2027, the 1 Muharram 1449 date on the Umm al-Qura calendar. It is marked expected for a reason: Islamic New Year 1449 follows the moon, not the algorithm. When the crescent is sighted a day early or late, the real date moves and this countdown will be a day off — that is the system working as intended, not an error.
